    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to add my voice in support of this Motion seeking extension of the prescribed time to enact these Bills in question. The theme of devolution is central in our Constitution. Good management of public finance is the pillar that supports the theme of devolution. I believe that we are not setting a precedent of extension, but I also want to believe that the President must have had good reason in his declining to assent to the County Governments Bills. For that reason, it is only in order that we rise to the occasion and give ourselves more time to interrogate and add value to this Bill so that when we next present it to the President, he will have to assent to it. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am aware that we are also limited with time but let us not rush and enact Bills that might be overtaken by events because we are trying to pass as many Bills as possible when there is already a question. With these remarks, I beg to support this Motion."
